Boeheim and North Carolina's Roy Williams were the two most successful coaches left off the list.

Michigan's John Beilein, who Boeheim has nearly always beaten, is No. 2 on the list, while Louisville's Rick Pitino, who Boeheim has famously struggled against, is No. 3. Duke's Mike Kryzewski is No. 7 and Michigan State's Tom Izzo leads the way at No. 1. Coaches from Belmont and Denver also made the Top 25.

The national perception of Boeheim has always been that his greatest strength lies in his ability to coax elite players to Syracuse, and it's likely that his one-trick pony approach to defense colored the opinions of some fellow coaches.

Still, few of them could solve the 2-3 zone that became the talk of last year's Final Four run and was one of the the best defensive efforts the NCAA Tournament has ever seen.

If Gerry McNamara and the 2006 Big East Tournament (Not 10 games!) taught us one thing, it's that Boeheim doesn't care much for surveys.

But what do you think? Is it possible that Boeheim isn't among the 25 best coaches at X's and O's or did the coaches bungle this big-time?
